Jono's Exemplary Notepad of Significant Importance

Sunday, November 11, 2007

I got it from some suss shop in the middle of nowhere. Or from Burwood Vicroads. Now I will drive to your house, and steal your food when you are not looking. Got it a week ago, also, and am just slow to share this with the blog world.

And, you may have noticed I put "Scanned image only" over it. I wasn't sure how many laws I was breaking by scanning it, so I figured it might be nice to have that there. And because it looks professional. I am professional. I can drive, after all.

Also, by the way, I am doing exams at the moment, and that is why I am not blogging much. No it is not because of blogwall, but because of exams. In three days, though, there will be only one left, and that should be awesome. I then have a week or more between to maybe do some mroe blogging, and maybe find my old form again.Cheers for now,

As many people can maybe probably tell, I am a big fan of IQ tests. I think they are the most logical tests in the world, and how smart you are can definately be summed up by a few questions about unrelated nothingness. Now, I don't know if you realised, but I was being sarcastic, IQ tests test nothing but how much time you feel like wasting doing one. But, all is good, because I have devised my own IQ tests to beat all IQ tests. Answer the questions (Multiple choice) and take down oyur answers, and check them against the correct answers in the comments on this blog post. Now you will see what your real IQ is.

Question 1:How many characters have I typed in this post so far?A- 256B - 196C - 336D- Can't be bothered counting.

Question 2:Which, of the following, is the closest in relation to a Pangolin?A- A tape wormB- A tapierC- Measuring tapeD - A farmer's hat

Question 3:How many questions are there in this quiz?A- OneB- ThreeC- FiveD- Alfragooglewak

Question 4:Which of the following characters has not appeared in a poem on my magnificent blog?A- FredB- XarkC- BobD- Alfragooglewak

Question 5:How many of this quiz's correct answers are "C"?A-NoneB- FourC- ThreeD- Alfragooglewak

Now, read the comments, add up your score, then read the section relating to you.

PEOPLE WHO SCORED 5/5:You are very intellectual. You should be in a hospital earning a high revenue, since you attained an ENTER score of above 99.95 in High School, and spent you University time studying Medicine. Congratulations on earning such a high IQ score. Your IQ is 250.

IF YOU SCORED 4/5 FOR THIS TEST:You are fairly smart. But why did you get that fifth question wrong? You got it wrong because you are not as good as everybody else. Go and sit in a corner and think about what you have done. Out of interest, which question was it that you got wrong? Because if it was question 5, that is terrible. That was the easiest question of them all! Your IQ is 50.

READ THIS IF YOU GOT THREE ANSWERS RIGHT:Hi! Thankyou for doing this test. Please, now, return to you class and learn your times tables a bit better. Ok? You should not be wasting this time reading blogs when you clearly need to get a bit more cleverer. You got an IQ score of 5.

GOT TWO ANSWERS CORRECT? CLICK HERE FOR A FREE HOLIDAY TO FIJI!You clicked on the title, didn't you? Yes, you did. I think it is time for you to take a good look at your life. You only got two right, that's less than half! Go and buy some ice cream and have some fun with your friends for a while. You deserve the break, as you must have worked very hard to read the questions of this test. You have an IQ of 1.09 x 10^-519. Sorry if you cannot understand that number.

GET ONE RIGHT?Yay! You get right! You could smart, but you not get much right. Hard test. Hope done more good next time. Let be friend. You want be friend, too? You get eye and koo for zero.

Notice for parents: DID YOUR SON/DAUGHTER GET NO ANSWERS CORRECT?This is a problem. This is a big problem. You have done a great job of parenting! (That was rather sarcastic) Unfortunately, your child has an IQ of negative five billion, and you should let them know that their ideal profession when they get older will be a chicken trainer.

Sorry if, in any way, your score has insulted you. Maybe next time you will get a 5/5 and feel better.

Now that school is coming to a close for me, I am realising a lot within the system of school (or at least my school) that is rather stupid, and I hadn't realised before. Maybe I had realised these things earlier, but that is not important.Firstly, why does everybody in school write with blue pens? How ridonculous. Why don't they publish novels with blue ink? Because blue is a stupid colour to have text in, which makes blue pens seem all the more a waste of pigment. Black pens, on the other hand, or white pens, they are smart. Use them. Now.Why do we have to wear school uniforms, like blazers and what not, which are quite formal, while teachers can wear jeans? Unfair unfair unfair. And if we are meant to be learning, in school, how to live and survive in the outside world, why are we not learning about how to dress in the outside world? Are they really teaching us to dress in blazers and shorts with mismatched colours sprinkled all over them?Why do some teachers only want to talk about maths, or English or physics, I am sure there are much mroe interesting things they would rather talk about, like how their day has been, and why they are wearing jeans instead of short shorts and knee-high socks.When analysing written material in English, why do we always assume the writer put meaning into every single word they churn out? I'm sure, just once in a blue moon, they put a word into their writing because it fits in a sentance, or because it is just there. Let's analyse what I just said. I used the word: "Single" before, meaning I am subliminally telling the reader that the words used by writers (which are rather professional words) are single, and not married, which means I am addressing the global issue of professionalism vs. happiness in life. How stupid. I did not mean that, I said single because it means "single". Stupidhead.Why does our entire school life get summed up by the exams at the end of year 12? Because people are lazy, and cannot be bothered looking back on how we went in previous years, that's why. And also because year 12 is the year before university, and the ENTER score gets you into university. This means they should have scores to transfer to the next level, like a STAY score in year 9, where if you get really high, you can go to a better school for year 10, or if you get low, they send you to Poowong West Primary School for the rest of your life.Schools are also all about promoting individuality, and bringing out the best of each individual person, and meeting their individual needs. They are so much into individuality and the difference of each student, that they call me by my new, and very individual name: 85344413T.School is ridiculous, in many ways. But I love it. I may die next year, without school. But we will see.

Argh! I have not blogged in so long! I am sorry for all those who actually have died because I have not blogged. That maybe nobody, or everybody.It is my last the begining of my last one and a half weeks of school... forever. Fun.Well, I felt like I should at least try and get a blog down on paper for now, to keep my site looking fresh, however rotten it is getting at the moment. And The school bell is going to go in a matter of seconds, so I cannot write more. I will definately try to get back into blogging some more. And commenting on other people's blogs.

I wish I had something interesting to write about right now, but I do not, and an just in a rambling mood. Yes, lately my posts have not been of much substance, but who cares? Not me. Well, I am currently typing this on a laptop! How very awesome. Why is it awesome? It is awesome because I like pressing the keys of a laptop computer. They are so much quieter than a normal computer's keys, and they feel so much more satisfying to press. So, that is what I am thinking about right now: simply that using this keyboard is so cool. And I actually don't have anything else to write about. Hmm, but I feel so much like writing something. Ok, I know, I shall do another list of 25 things that have happened recently, as, as is mentioned in a previous post, there has been much happening lately, but most of it, for some obscure reason, I don't feel like writing much about, both because I am over it, or because it is so good that I feel like I will not be doing it justice by writing whatever I would end up writing about it. Ok, so here it is: 25 things that have happened recently. In no particular order.

1- Chris Davies got back from America today.2- I have finished my two VisCom folios, and handed them in.3- I am currently in holidays, and am very much enjoying that fact.4- I have only a few days left to put in my preferrences for what uni courses I want to do next year.5- I have much studying to do over the holidays, which will probably not end up getting done.6- I have my Indonesian Oral exam on the first day back from school, on Monday, and I am not prepared for it at all!7- After the holidays, I have ten more days left of school... forever!8- The SDM is finished, and screened for the first time, as a feature length film, Sunday night at the church. You can find the full SDM at serialdrama.com!9- I have been building stuff for people recently, and I now am getting sick of the smell of Craft Glue. But it is not that bad.10- I had practice exams last week. Im missed one of them. Fun!11- Blob is going good. As always. I think the new people to the game are enjoying it also, and getting into it, however much that is possible. Awesome.12- I began writing Magenta for the second time.13- I have been neglecting all my blogs somewhat recently.14- I have been spending much time with Lauren Pinches recently, as well. Awesome.15- My family (mostly my parents) are being rather annoying about me spending all my time doing work for school. Although they have been a bit better a bit more recently.16- I have been getting quality sleep, too, which is good, apart from a few nights when I have not had very much, like last night. And now I am a little bit tired.17- We had a really good small group meeting on friday, and I had a lot of fun eating dinner at the Waters' afterwards.18- I am feeling rather unhealthy, too, as I have not done much excercise for a while. I should do some. Soon. I am on holidays, so it should be possible.19- I am running out of things to say.20- I am realising that I know there is plenty more I can say, but it is all just not coming straight to me at this moment.21- I am very excited about the rest if the holidays, even if I am going to feel guilty the whole time for not doing work.22- Right now, I am in Lauren's house, alone. I let myself in. It is a strange feeling, given that it is not my house an' all, but awesome. Lily and Tess are keeping me company. Don't know who they are? You should find out.23- I have been watching much 'That 70's Show' in the last few days. It is a very cool show, you should all watch it.24- I read a Fred Basset the other day. It is not very cool. You should not read it. In fact, if youn see it, burn it and bury the ashes and flag the spot you buried it so that you can avoid that place in the future. Actually, it is not that bad. Or is it? You decide.25- I need to go to the toilet right now, so I will.

I am fairly sure the quality of those points went downhill towards the end, but oh well, I don't care, I just like typing with this keyboard. It doesn't matter what I say. That is all, for now.Mainly pointless and rambling post is now over.Finish!

Friday, September 21, 2007

Well, besides the fact that I've had two intense weeks of VisCom folios and practice exams and all that jazz, I still havn't found the time to blog much, recently, which I normally would have been able to squeeze in at some point or other. And I think the reality of it is: I have hit a blog wall.I don't know what it is, or why it is, but for some reaosn, recently, my drive for posting on this blog all the time has somewhat slipped away form me. I know, like all things, it'll come back, but I realised just then that I have nothing to write about. (That is a lie, I have plenty to write about, but I just don't feel like blogging about any of the awesome things that are happeneing at the moment.) Much like what Ben Chong discussed in his blog about the 07 RoadTrip, how there was so much that was good, that he couldn't think of a way to write about it all. I am feeling rather like that, but not about one thing in life, but about everything. There is so much I could blog about, but I just have not been in the mood recently. Ok, well, I will definately do ltos of posts over these holidays, because I have so much free time. Yet I do have heaps of stuff to do over these holidays, as well, and I know that even though I have plenty of time, I will never get around to doing everything that I had intended to do. Such is the nature of holidays. Oh well, I shall put everything in order of priority, and try and work through everything I want to do, without getting distracted by the evil procrastination distratons, e.g. T.V., Minesweeper and doing nothingness. Ha, I actually don;t get distracted by Minesweper that much. If I do, itmonly lasts a few minutes before I realise I will never become a champion of it.On another not related note everybody reading this should venture to http://serialdrama.com and watch the Serial Drama Movie. It is the best thing to hit the world since sliced bread. In fact, it is better than, AND part of sliced bread, and sliced bread is rather beige. Yes, rather beige. What a best colour. Now LET'S WENT, and watch SDM!Also, I am begining to re-write Magenta, one of my favouite novel ideas which I have already written once. Among these favourite ideas are The Fazora Sword (originated as a bed time story to Sophie and Bradley (my siblings))(Has been written up three times.), Aurora (A series of novels set on the planet Myria. The story Gammana is a prequel to the series Aurora. I have written up (or tried to) start this series over 5 times.), and Magenta (The one I am writing up for the second time now). This excites me also. Many things are exciting me right now. Maybe I will post about it, one day. Or not. We shall see. Depends whether I can get enough blob $$ to buy a computer buldozer and knock down this BlogWall.

Monday, September 10, 2007

Just keeping you all updated once again. I have not posted in a long while, and the reaosn behind that is because I have had many things on lately, and havn't had time to blog much. Even my free periods at school, where I normally sit down and blog, have been taken from me by the evilness that is VisCom (Visual Communication and Design), in which I have two huge folios due next week. Argh! It is so much work. That is the main thing I have been doing recently. I have been doping it at school, at home, and almost every other opportunity I get. Annoying. But it will be over soon, and I will be able to return to blogging more regularily.I hope you all, my avid readers, are having a great two weeks to make up for my not so fantastic VisCom two weeks.Finish post.Post is finished.Finishing dance.End.

A while ago, I wrote a post on my favourite characters of all time. I knew I would have forgotten some, but it didn't matter. But then I realised one character that I forgot that is so amazing that it must be mentioned. He even gets his very own post! Wow. His name is Merlin, and he is from the classic Disney movie: The Sword in the Stone. This movie was one of my favourites all through my childhood, and it was all because Merlin was such a funny and awesome character in it.

I cannot fully express how smanbastical Merlin is until you watch the movie. He is so infinately fantastic that you might die watching it, though. I may not be telling the truth about the dying part, there, but.

Anyway, I just thought I'd let you all know how awesome Merlin is, in case you didn't know, or simply remind you of it if you already did know.

Oh, and by the way, the picture at the top of this post is what merlin looks like when he transforms himself into a crab while fighting Madam Mim, who is a very funny character in her own right. I couldn't find a picture of Merlin on a plain background form Google, so I used this one instead. Awesome.

Yesterday, I went to a session at church where we gave information to and answered questions people had about Vetamorphus, who could potentially be wanting to do it next year at Doncaster Church fo Christ. For those reading who do not know what it is, Vetamorphus is a Certificate III VCE VET course in Christian Ministry. I did it last year with six of the most amazing people I have ever known.During this meeting/presentation/information session, I felt the whole time this sick feeling in my stomach. A good sick feeling, though. I felt so sad that we were not doing vetamorphus anymore, and so happy that I had done it, and so blessed that I had built such a strong relationship with the five other people who were involved in it with me. I love friends, and I love all my friends so much, but there is this particular feeling of closeness that I feel with everybody in my Veta group that, whenever I think about, makes me smile on the inside, and on the outside.I loved Vetamorphus. I loved growing in my faith. I loved learning more about Christianity. I loved doing so much for people through it. I loved having so much fun, Vetamorfun, during it. And I loved getting to love the other six people in it. Ben, Kelly, Lauren, Matt, Meagan, Simon, I love you all.I strongly encourage everybody who has the opportunity, still, to get involved in it, as it is such a great experience. I miss it so much, and I hope that in the future, near and far, that I can do much with the people that I spent a year doing vetamorphus with. The V Team.I want Vetamorphus again! Now now now now now.The V Team is the coolest. One day we will all be superheroes and fly and save the world from all those other, more evil letters. And a movie will be made about us, and it won't be called V for Vendetta, but will be called V for Best. Or V for Veta. Either way. You decide which is more suitable.

No, I am not going to vent about anything, here. I merely wish to discuss venting and the like.Last week at small group, the issue of letting people know how we feel about things came up, that is, not holding feelings back, and not venting stuff. Due to confidentiality of small group, I cannot talk about anything that we said, so I will not, but the issue was one I feel that I have different opinions to most about, and I feel like sharing that now. Yes. Sharing. If you ever have a custard cake... share it. Sharing is good.Anyway, back to the point: When people get annoyed at others, or have something they wish to say to them, or somthing that they are holding back from them etc., there are always many issues as to why they should face up to them, and confront people, but also as to why this would be not so good. I have found through experience, and thinking about it myself as well, that I, personally, would 95 times out of 100, prefer whoever had something they could possibly be holding back from me to actually confront me about that stuff. I feel that if sombody feels somthing, they will feel it whether I know they are feeling it or not, so it is better for me to know what it is they are feeling. It is not like by me ignoring thigs, they do not exist. This is a very narrow and somewhat selfsih view, in my opinion, to me, at least. If sombody has a bone to pick with me, a compliment to give me, a concern to express to me, a feeling concerning me to share, or somehting to tell me at all, I would always prefer them to tell me.So why, then, do I not tell otehr people when I have similar thoughts and feleings that need to be expressed? This is somehting I struggle with. I think that it is because I am not sure whether other people can take that sort of thing as well as, or in the same way as I can. From xperience I have learnt that some people can definately take things the wrong way. Although there are a few people who I feel particularily close to that I know I can tell them anything, tell them off about anything, express my feelings to and slap, metaphorically, (or not) when it is needed, most people I am never sure whether they will take something the wrong way. The dilemma is left, then, of is it appropriote to say certain things at certain times? When and how can I vent to people. Is it importnat to vent to sombody separated form the scenario, if I deem it not right to confront the person just yet? I think the answer to this last question is yes. But there could also be times when that is not appropriote.Argh! I am being very vauge and broad right now, but I don't care. It is somthing that I have just been struggling with (Not often strongly, just always a little bit, every now and then) for almost my whole life. I thought I could blog about it, though.I am actually not frusterated or in any of these sorts of situations at the moment, though. I am actually in a state of complete happiness, except for my stupid driving lessons. I don't want to do them. They cost money. I just thought this was an issue that I could share my thoughts about, and possiblky spark some discussion. Yes, discussion. That means commenting. Comment now! But you dont have to if you don't want to. But yes, comment now. Now! BUt no, I am not pressuring at all. You are a porecious reader, and you don't need to comment. But you can if you want. There, that sounds better. Awesome.Thankyou for reading.Bang. I am finished.

I haven't posted for a whole week. Wow, I have been so lazy recently. And I feel bad if this post if of little interest to others, as it will probably just end up being another post recapping what has gone on in my lfie recently, as at the moment, eveything that is happening all the time is so awesome. Well, this weekend was very smanbastical... wait, I know. I shall say it all in 25 point form. Yessss. That is always relatively fun. This weekend, I have done the following things, and they have made my weekend so very fantastic.

1 - Having fun at Youth Group on Friday night, even though where we went wasn't the best of places to go.2 - Having small group before Youth Group, and just having a conversation about relationships, in general.3 - Buying fish and chips from the fish and chip shop, and getting chicken salt without even asking for it.4 - Watching SDM episode 5.5 - Going shopping on Saturday, and buying many cool things.6 - Walking around the shops with Lauren, while doing the above.7 - Administering another installment of Blob.8 - Having Lauren over for dinner.9 - Going out to Crown to watch a Ray Charles impersonator. He was awesome.10 - Drinking champagne. Awesome.11 - Going for a walk in the city at night time.12 - Standing on a bridge over the Yarra, and enjoying the scenery and the company.13 - Waking up as the light shines into my room (or the room that I was sleeping in), and being able to fall back to sleep, without worrying about rushing out the door for anything.14 - Scrambled eggs.15 - Watching Beauty and the Beast. Disney movies are the best. Ever.16 - Relaxing at home.17 - Leading at the Garage, and printing our hands onto a big, white canvas.18 - Church. Listening to half of dad's sermon, singing, etc.19 - Speaking with friends about nothingness, and some somthingnesses as well, like Blob, SDM, Cb's, etc.20 - Actually going out with everybody when they went out for food after church.21 - Having fun at TGI's with friends.22 - Laughing at Brendan. He is fun to laugh at.23 - Free refills.24 - Going to bed nice and early.25 - Remenicing (I am almost 100% sure that is not how you spell it) about how good the weekend was while indulging on chocolate in bed.

Most of these things include Lauren, in some way or other, and that is because I pretty much did spend most of the weekend with her. And I don't care what other people think about how I am spending my time, because I am so happy, and spending quality time with Lauren is making me so happy, and I have so much fun with her. Happy. Happyface. I also spent time with friends over this weekend, and I really love spending time with friends. I want more time with friends. Now. Now now now. It is so stupid that there is not enough time to casually visit friends every day, and the like. I wish nobody was every busy, and we could live in super-fun-happy land and spend all day doing what we feel like doing, and not what we have to do. This time can be found, though, just not now.And right then, I became very excited about our week (or two) in Phillip Island at the Jolly's Retreat! My goodness, I am so excited. I really want to just be able to relax with friends for ages, like I could at Jolly's last year. I want stupid school to be over so that I can do Jolly's holiday. Yay!I am excited about everything right now. I feel like jumping around and hugging people. But actually, I don't, because I am in the library right now. That would be a little bit inappropriote. Maybe.I had a dream that I was flying while holding some sort of plastic bag thing with a handle last night. That was interesting.And I hope this post was interesting too.Because now it is finished.
